The dog’s nose fungus (Camarops petersii) is for sure one of the most bizarre-looking fungi species found in the woods. This fungus has an uncanny resemblance to an actual dog’s nose: the surface is black, wet, shiny, and covered with tiny pimples, just like the snouts of the real thing. Maybe this is Mother Earth’s ode to our beloved canine companions? Even though it has no place on the dinner table, we love finding dog’s nose fungus because it is a sweet reminder of our furry companions.
